# Get ledger accounts

GET https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1/ledger_accounts

Get all ledger accounts

Reference: https://docs.monite.com/api/ledger-accounts/get-ledger-accounts

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Servers

- `https://api.sandbox.monite.com/v1` (sandbox, default)
- `https://api.monite.com/v1` (eu_production)
- `https://us.api.monite.com/v1` (na_production)

## Request

### Query parameters

- `order` (enum, optional) — Sort order (ascending by default). Typically used together with the `sort` parameter.
  - Allowed values: `asc`, `desc`
- `limit` (integer, optional, default: 250) — The number of items (0 .. 250) to return in a single page of the response. Default is 100. The response may contain fewer items if it is the last or only page. When using pagination with a non-default `limit`, you must provide the `limit` value alongside `pagination_token` in all subsequent pagination requests. Unlike other query parameters, `limit` is not inferred from `pagination_token`.
- `pagination_token` (string, optional) — A pagination token obtained from a previous call to this endpoint. Use it to get the next or previous page of results for your initial query. If `pagination_token` is specified, all other query parameters except `limit` are ignored and inferred from the initial query. If not specified, the first page of results will be returned.
- `sort` ("name", optional) — The field to sort the results by. Typically used together with the `order` parameter.
- `is_external` (boolean, optional) — Filter by external/internal ledger accounts
